I touch the wall of the dilapidated building and the paint begins to peel off. The names of the best friends aren’t there anymore. I try to relive the days spent here. Running in the corridors as a kid, sitting on the parapet and gossiping with friends, looking at the boards sometimes with a blank...

He spotted her in the airport food court after ages, sharing a meal with her family. Her appearance had changed completely. From waist long, jet black to beautiful burgundy shoulder length hair. From traditional salwar kameezes to fitted jeans and top. Only the smile was the same.

“What pains you the most?” asked the doctor to the depressed young patient encouraging her to talk about her recent heart break.

Hearing the sound of heavy machinery, I looked out of the window dreading the sight.
The raised platform surrounding the tree was obliterated. It was once a place for children to play, womenfolk to pray to the deity whom they had consecrated there and menfolk to relax in the evenings.
